OPTIMISATION ROADMAP

Clarita's Optimisation Roadmap provides a mechanism for charting a journey of maturity building initiatives that enable organisations to achieve their asset management objectives.

Clarita Solutions has found that organisations operating without a strategic framework for reviewing, approving and prioritising change initiatives come to rely on inefficient, ad-hoc development efforts. This results in double handling of data, increasing maintenance of that data, inefficient integrations, poor returns on systems investments and squandering of available budgets.

To ensure organisations' change programs align with their business priorities, Clarita has developed an Asset Information Ecoystem Optimisation Roadmap to provide clarity of vision and consistent delivery of improvement initiatives.

Clarita’s Optimisation Roadmap enables organisations to reach their identified goals by means of a step-by-step process that begins with a current state assessment and results in a strategic document that defines a path to a desired future state – and continuous improvement delivery.

Waves of data are generated in the course of business every day. More data is good data – but only if it can be understood and interpreted efficiently and dynamically to bring greater insight into asset performance.

Optimising the asset information ecosystem is about combining data with the tools that provide actionable insight, resulting in the potential to improve every function within the organisation. With integrated visibility, control and automation across business and technology assets, you can achieve objectives and maximise the value of all assets supporting the operation. Optimised asset management operations experience:

Increased asset availability – reliability provides the basis for improving service delivery and growing revenue from the same asset base
More timely and precise interventions – improving productivity and reducing material use
Increased asset lifespans and reduced downtime – enabling higher utilisation and more effective investment in facilities/assets and inventory over time

Each Optimisation Roadmap is developed through three stages:

Current State Assessment –
A collaborative, exploratory investigation undertaken to develop a shared understanding of current AMIS performance, including identification of any challenges, as well as ambitions for future changes and innovation. This stage determines the direction of future stakeholder consultation.
Stakeholder Workshops –
A series of workshops are held with stakeholders to clarify, learn, challenge and consolidate a path forward that aligns with corporate strategies and agreed continuous improvement delivery timeframes. These workshops ensure the Optimisation Roadmap reflects the needs and priorities of the business and all stakeholders.
Improvement Roadmap Documentation –
The intelligence gathered to date is used to produce a finalised Optimisation Roadmap report. The Roadmap outlines a forward plan for AMIS development that allows an organisation to communicate system priorities across the business and identify how opportunities relate to each another. It also establishes high-level timeframes to keep stakeholders on track and working towards common goals.

Once the Optimisation Roadmap is endorsed across the organisation, it can be used as a foundation for the successful delivery of a Continuous Improvement Delivery program.
